Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Chronograph Ceramic

Until recently, keen travellers who are also sports lovers had to choose between two additional functions that are equally indispensable: the chronograph and a dual-time display. Today, such issues are a thing of the past, since the Master Compressor Chronograph Ceramic watch not only combines these much sought-after indications on its dials, but also provides intrepid globetrotters with an additional safety feature in the shape of its patented compression key. Multi-tasking performances The Master Compressor Chronograph Ceramic watch with its 46-millimetre diameter immediately proclaims its vocation as a precision instrument serving sports enthusiasts whose feats take place on several continents. The indications stand out clearly against the semi-matt black dial, ensuring the perfectly readability of each item of information. Two openworked luminescent hour and minute hands point to the markers arranged around the dial. They are accompanied by a bold red chronograph seconds hand, whereas the filigree-style second timezone hand appears to stay deliberately in the background while maintaining perfect readability in order to ensure graphic respect for the strictly hierarchical order of information.

To meet travellers’ requirements, the GMT function inspired by the Home Time/Travel Time concept developed by the Manufacture is complemented by the indispensable day/night indication appearing through a window just below the Jaeger-LeCoultre signature. The chronograph hour and minute counters are respectively positioned at 9 and 3 o’clock, while the lower part of the dial is reserved for the small seconds hand which spins at 6 o’clock, and for the date hand harmoniously placed between 4 and 5 o’clock. Issued in a 500-piece limited edition, the Master Compressor Ceramic watch features the signature characteristic of all Master Compressor timepieces: Jaeger-LeCoultre’s patented compression key guaranteeing optimal water resistance.
